It's my understanding that the reason for these catastrophic legal developments in the mid '80's was that when the vaxx makers announced they were planning to close up shop rather than be driven out of business by liability costs, Congress/Reagan et al. made the choice they did in order to enable the bioweapons programs to carry on as they have been dutifully doing ever since. It would certainly be more honest to reassign a lot of these matters, and get the DoD to be more transparent ... and good luck to us if that becomes a stated goal.
